Setting up Document Categories and Types will enable your agents to know which documents are required when working on their transactions in SISU.
First, we need to set up a Document Category
- Locate the top menu bar and select Admin - team settings
- In the menu on the left, click Document Categories.
- Document categories are like "folders" that you can put document types in. (Examples of document categories are "New Listing Docs" and "Under Contract Docs.")
- In the Document Category Name field, enter the desired name of your new category.
- Example: New Listing Docs
- Click Add. Now, you will see your new category appear below in the Document Categories section.
Next, we want to Set up a Document Type
- Since we are already in Team Settings.
- Go to the menu on the left and click Document Types.
- Your document types in Sisu represent the kinds of documents that agents will be uploading to transactions. (Examples of document types are "Listing Contract" and "Agreement of Sale.")
- From the Category drop-down, select the category to which your document type should be assigned. - New Listing Docs
- In the Document Type Name field, enter the preferred name of your new document type.
- Listing Contract
- Choose a Transaction Type.
- In the Required drop-down, specify whether the document type is required.
- Click Add. Your new type appears below in the Document Categories section.
Now we can look at the Document Categories and Types in the transactions-
- Go to Transactions > and click on a transaction line to open it.
- In the menu on the left, click Documents. This opens the Documents screen.
- Click the Category drop-down and select a category from the list. This makes the category's assigned document types appear under Required Documents, essentially showing agents which documents are required for the transaction.
